Thank you so much for all the reviews! Hearts! And sorry for the slow update!
Chapter 7
The Saint Rudolph dorms were... for lack of better words... Urgh... And to think, his poor precious little brother's room just had to be located at the end of the corridor (furthest away from the exit doors). And although Fuji Shusuke would have loved to have never stepped foot in this awful place, he just really needed some bonding time with cute little Yuuta. After all it's been a few weeks since they last saw each other, so it's only natural to pay him a visit from time to time.
'Wait... where did you say you are?' Eiji's voice rang through his phone.
"I'm talking to Yuuta." Fuji explained, as he rolled around on his younger brother's bed in an attempt to get comfortable... It wasn't going to happen.
'Tell him I say: Hello!'
"Eiji says: Hi." Fuji spared his younger brother a glance.
"Aniki, I don't even know why you're here." Yuuta frowned.
"We're spending time together." Wasn't it obvious?
"You've been on the phone with Eiji-senpai this entire time. Why don't you just go over to his place? I have some friends over and we really want to go over our practice schedule for tomorrow." Yuuta grumbled.
"He's with Oishi and I really don't want to disturb them." Fuji explained.
"Fuji-kun, you do realize that-"
"Mizuki-senpai, don't even bother with him." Yuuta sighed.
"Ew. Eiji?" Fuji called out, rolling over once more so that he didn't have to look at that ugly purple and magenta sweater.
'I heard! Isn't it that gross seaweed head? Yuuta needs to find some better looking friends.'
"What? We're good looking daaane!"
'... What was that?' Eiji whispered.
Fuji frowned while taking a quick peek at the small group of his younger brother's friends, "I really wish I never turned around..."
'Can you repeat that? I think my phone's acting funny.'
"Nothing." Fuji shook his head, "So where was I?"
'I was talking to Jirou one second and when I turn around you completely disappeared! So then I went up to Atobe and asked him where you went and that asshole completely ignored me and then he disappeared somewhere. So I went to talk to Oshitari, to see if he knew something, because he always knows something. But I didn't have any luck there, so I had to visit Tezuka on my own and when he asked where you were, I told him that Yuuta got into an accident-'
Fuji let out a dreadful gasp.
'-and that the dentist said he wasn't sure when Yuuta was going to get out of that coma.' Eiji replied.
"What about me?" Yuuta was frowning.
"Nothing. You're perfect." Fuji cooed.
'So where'd you go?'
"Here." Fuji shrugged.
'St. Rudolph?' Eiji questioned.
"Yes." Fuji nodded, "I just really wanted to visit Yuuta."
'... I know about your whole brother complex, but... why? I mean, you hate St. Rudolph.'
"Brother complex?" Fuji frowned, not quite understanding the term.
"Eiji-kun has a point."
"Yuuta, kick that overdramatic llama out of the room." Fuji practically hissed.
"I would, but Mizuki-senpai has to go over our training schedule first and it's not helping that you're around distracting the entire team." Yuuta shrugged.
'Speaking of the entire team, we all saw your butt by the way.' Eiji exclaimed, 'I wanted to tell you earlier, but you took off without telling me.'
"Sorry." Fuji apologized, "Wait... You all saw my butt?"
"I didn't."
"Shut up Atsushi."
'Yup, not like I haven't seen your butt before. But I have to admit that it was my first time seeing your butt in public. You fully woke Jirou up.' Eiji laughed.
"How embarrassing... I don't know what got into him, but he pushed me down all of a sudden and started kissing me and taking off my pants like he was making some kind of a point." Fuji blushed before his stomach made a sickening turn, "... Because he kind of... broke up? ... or... well, he ended things after."
'Atobe broke up with you?' Eiji's voice echoed through the phone.
"Wait dane... Yuuta is your brother dating Hyotei's Atobe Keigo?" Duck face exclaimed.
"Apparently not anymore." Yuuta shrugged, "Can we please talk about our new training schedule?"
"I thought he was dating Tezuka... I kind of want to hear the rest of this story..."
"Not you too Akazawa-buchou."
"It's good to take data on other teams..."
"Shut up Mizuki-senpai!"
'What's with all the noise?' Eiji wondered.
"I don't know. Yuuta's friends are going over some tennis training regiment or something. Can you believe him though?" Fuji grumbled.
'Yuuta?'
"No. Keigo." Fuji corrected.
'Wait... Which part? Because from the way you two have been acting on our double dates, him pushing you down and trying to woo hoo you isn't too different from what happened at the ice cream shop. And about the break up part... Well, it's not like you were actually dating him, right?' Eiji listed.
"... I..." Fuji could feel his face heat up, "I was supposed to break up with him. It wasn't supposed to be the other way around."
'Nya?'
"I asked him out to get Tezuka jealous." Fuji pointed out, "I pretended to date him and be in love with him. I was supposed to break up with him as soon as Tezuka came crawling back to me."
'And?'
"Tezuka hasn't yet!" Fuji grumbled.
'Because you had a boyfriend... kind of... Whatever. We'll go visit him tomorrow at the hospital.' Eiji replied comfortingly.
"He's leaving the country for rehabilitation." Fuji stated, "He's probably worrying about when he'll be able to hold a tennis racquet again."
'You know, it's not always about the tennis.' Eiji clarified.
"It's always about the tennis." Fuji retorted, "It's the reason why Tezuka broke up with me in the first place. And with Keigo, it's probably the reason why he probably agreed to date me remember? Did you seriously think we liked each other? He probably wanted to just throw Tezuka off his game by dating me and nothing else. And with Tezuka the way he is, I guess Keigo just didn't need me anymore. Although, it's not like he actually defeated Tezuka in a tennis match. Well, okay... in a default way... but. What am I going to do about Tezuka now?"
"Are they talking about tennis?"
"Shut up Mizuki! I want to hear this..."
"Guys... the schedule..." Yuuta tried.
'Didn't you tell me that Tezuka told you that he still loves you a few days ago? I'm sure if you told him that you and Atobe broke up, he'd want to date you again.' Eiji replied thoughtfully.
"Tezuka's leaving in a few days for Germany. The last thing on his mind is... me. And before he leaves, he's going to be too busy packing and recovering that it's not like we'll really have a chance to talk." Fuji explained.
'You don't have to talk! All you gotta do is have him stick his penis- Don't look at me like that.'
"Huh?" Fuji blinked.
'Syuichiro. He's giving me that look my mom gives me whenever I do something bad.' Eiji explained, 'Well, if you wanted to talk to him, why did you ditch out on the hospital visit?'
"I don't know." Fuji confessed, "You know what it is actually? It's all Shishidou's fault."
'Shishidou? What did he do this time?'
"Something. I can feel it." Fuji accused.
'Well, if it helps, Oshitari told me that earlier Shishidou was making fun of Atobe and his lack of a sex life.' Eiji explained.
"He did what?" Fuji arched a brow.
'Made fun of Atobe's lack of a sex life?' His best friend replied unsurely.
Then something dawned upon him... Maybe it wasn't about the tennis... Maybe tennis wasn't involved at all.
"Eiji." Fuji called out, "It's not about tennis."
'Told you so!'
"It's about the woo hoo."
'... What? ... How?'
"Oshitari told me Keigo was a real player before he was forced to settle down with me. So maybe between the tennis and the sex, Keigo being the huge scumbag that he is chose sex. And too bad for him, but since we were kind of not really dating, he was stuck having to do sex with me." Fuji clarified, "And I wasn't about to have him stick his really big... Did you see it?"
'Not really. I mean, we were pretty far from where you two were.'
"It was huge!" Fuji recalled.
'It kind of explains why he's such a dick most of the time. Get it?' Eiji snickered, 'Yea, Syuichiro's not getting it.'
"Eiji. It had to be thicker than Kabaji's wrist." Fuji described seriously.
"I don't think they're talking about tennis anymore." One of Yuuta's friends coughed.
"Please, can we not talk about my older brother's sex life and his boyfriend's dick?" Yuuta asked, looking a little sick.
'Hey, I bet he must look funny naked. Not at all proportionate.' The redhead commented, "Well, since you're so excited, maybe you should have let him poke it in a few times. Hold on... Yes, we've been talking about Atobe's penis okay? Fujiko and I can't always be talking about your penis. And believe me Syuichiro, we talk about your thing a lot even though there isn't much to talk about!'
"Eiji?"
'I'm complimenting you! Sure it's small, but I'm saying that you know how to use it. Unya! Why are you being all upset for?'
"Eiji? Do you want me to call you back?" Fuji questioned with faint concern.
'Huh? Uh... Wait... No. No, we're good. Where were we again?' Eiji stuttered.
"I was getting in his way Eiji... Because with me around, he can't get any woo hoo done. It was never about the tennis. It's all about the woo hoo." Fuji explained. It was all starting to make sense now...
'Or ... Maybe you just like him?'
"I know I like Tezuka." Fuji frowned.
'I'm not talking about Tezuka.' Eiji corrected, 'You know, denial isn't just a river in Egypt and it isn't just the title to this story.'
"... Oh." Fuji frowned before his best friend's words dawned on him, "Oh! What? No! ... I mean, yes he kind of grew on me. Keigo's a good guy-"
'You just called him a scumbag.'
"I know... but he's a really good person inside." Fuji elaborated, "But that's about all there is to it."
'Shu-chan, you're my best friend. And I love you to death.' Eiji started.
"... I love you too." Fuji replied, wondering where the redhead was going with this.
'I think Ohtori's right. You've got to stop thinking.'
"Huh?"
'Listen, I need to go now. Syuichiro's gonna prove that just because something's small doesn't mean that it can't pack a mean punch.' Eiji announced, 'So don't worry about it. Like Ohtori said, don't think too much about it. We'll talk more in five minutes.'
"... Five minutes?" Fuji frowned.
'I know what you're thinking. It might only be five minutes, but every second is worth it!' Eiji chirped before hanging up.
Hanging up his own phone, he continued to stare at that ugly white wall in front of him... Yes, there was no need to get his head wrapped up in this whole Atobe situation. There was no need to make sense of whatever Atobe did. Because first off, he would never understand the thought process that went on inside the Hyotei captain's head like he does with Tezuka. And secondly, there was just no need to. Atobe did his part. Tezuka was sufficiently jealous. All he had to do now was talk to Tezuka and tell him that he was now single. Maybe it would help if he undid a few buttons on his shirt, because showing off more skin would definitely help his cause. And just let things fall perfectly into place...
Eiji was right. Ohtori was right. He just didn't need to think about it.
"Thank you for this talk Yuuta." Fuji sat up and gave his younger brother the fondest of smiles.
"What talk? You were on the phone the entire time with Eiji-senpai." Yuuta corrected.
"I love you too. Okaasan says to come home more often because she misses you." Fuji informed.
"... Yea." Yuuta had a really cute blush covering his cheeks.
"Aww..."
"Shut up Mizuki-senpai." Yuuta grumbled.
"I'm going, so have a good night." Fuji waved.
"You too aniki."
"By the way, I'm telling kaasan that you had a bunch of friends over in your dorm room and that these dorms are distracting you from your school work and sleeping early. You should definitely transfer back to Seigaku." Fuji added.
"... Just leave!"
To be continued.
